Is it a resolver or a name server?
A resolver open to the Internet probably is the wrong thing to
do. Frankly, if you need to ask the questions above you likely haven't
thought through your problem enough before coming to the conclusion that
an open resolver is a desirable thing.
For name servers, OTOH, the situation is different.
Tony Finch pointed at Redbarn patches. They work for me.
NSD does rate limiting as of recent releases.
